Summary
After COVID in May, Maple 61014 developed left-sided abdominal pain, then left-sided chest pain, then three months of throat pain, tightness and occasional trouble swallowing. Endoscopy found redness thought to be acid reflux; ENT scoping, blood tests and a barium swallow found nothing significant, and omeprazole helped about 20%. They took vitamins, got more sun, exercised and cut alcohol and caffeine, and by January 2023 the throat had improved marginally but still bothered them.
